There's a house about 6 or 8 blocks from my house where they have about 10 or 12 bright orange plastic flamingos in the front yard. Every time I ride my bike past there I'm temped to stop and take a picture of it.

This was was one of those short out of the way blocks I haven't gone down in years and this treasure of over-accessorizing popped up, there is another house in a rather upscale neighborhood that's kinda hard to get access to to photograph but has an outstanding collection of the most tacky lawn sculpture ever produced, like a huge dinosaur to an orangutang hanging from a tree punctuated with a plethora of garden gnomes, it's like someone who had a tastectemy hit Lotto and went crazy.

with plastic flamingos, plaster turtles, cement Bambi sculptures, ceramic frogs, owls, etc. Arrange the shots to look like genuine wildlife captures. It could be fun.
